I can kinda see where they're coming from, though. "We shouldn't be making money off these child soldiers!" isn't a bad point, it's just that "We should be manipulating them into wanting to risk their lives for us in a different way, that's less beneficial to them!" isn't better.
Does anyone actually read these?

In the few bits we saw of Silvia's personal life, she actually seemed a very humble and studious person, wearing simple clothes and glasses. She did the whole "pageant contestant" bit because she was her family's main source of income.

I read it more as a bit of a poke at her own pragmatism. "I want you on a team so you'll be safe, because I care about you. Also, if you die then I'll have to explain that to the press, and that's no fun for anyone."
